NBA NotebookSixers plans may rest on Lakers moves

COLUMBUS, Ohio &#8212; Ohio lawmakers are delaying any action on a resolution urging baseball&#8217;s commissioner to reinstate all-time hits leader Pete Rose and make the former Cincinnati Reds star eligible for the Hall of Fame.The measure was pulled from a legislative committee&#8217;s agenda for Tuesday, a day after ESPN reported it obtained a notebook that shows Rose bet on Reds games during his last season as an active player in 1986.The House speaker&#8217;s spokeswoman says the proposal&#8217;s sponsors and the committee chairman decided to put the issue on hold and possibly re-evaluate it later, once more information is available.Rose agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation for Major League Baseball concluded he bet on games while he was a player and manager.He has applied for reinstatement.
